Tech Paper Cost-Effective Slickline Descaling Operation
Cost-effective slickline descaling technology outperforms coiled tubing in mature field operations.
Mechanical removal of hard scale, cement, and asphaltene deposits
Scale, sand, and other debris are an increasing global problem for oil companies who have maturing fields where there is an ongoing scale buildup in producing wells. SLB provides various tools specifically designed to enhance wellbore cleanup and debris removal through cost-effective slickline intervention.
Backed by an extensive range of Peak Family™ flow control and well intervention tools for all kinds of debris removal, the Torque-Action Debris Breaker™ wellbore cleanup and debris removal tool can break accumulations of hard scale, cement, and asphaltene deposits that resist traditional methods including standard broaches, chemical treatments, jetting, milling, explosives, and sonic pressure pulses.
